Actually, they have a different old style VIN system. For example, take the FC RX-7:

US: JM1FC33##*#######
Jap: FC3S-#######

The 17 digit VIN was fist required in '86, but most companies started using it for US models before then.

My old '80 RX-7 was SA22C-#######, but when the '81 models came out they started marking them JM1FB33##*####### while the Japanese carried on with FB3S-#######
